Yeah he was here a year or two too long when his legs had gone, but for a while I thought he was Peacock-esque for us.

Back to those wanting 2 props, I just can't see it . I think we'll replace Martin with another back rower; we'll lose Donno this year and the rest would fight it out for the other starting spot and maybe a bench spot.

I think we'll then use the Fus quota for a prop.

Unless two sensational props come up at good money, who knows. You tend to get better value from back rowers in terms of minutes/pay than a prop, although a top class prop can be the difference in games too. If Mik started with a new (really good) prop, and we had Holroyd and Lisone as first choice bench props I don't think that's an awful set. Sangare, TNW as back ups and then you have a slew of others like Hudson, Ruan and some reserves/academy lads.

A back row of McDonnell and Bentley or O'Connor isn't doing it for me. I think McDonnell is our best back-row grafter, but we should partner him with a big ugly thing to give us more whack and take some pressure off the props. Bench for one or both of Bentley and O'Connor. If we got Kal back, then we're back into signing two new NRL props maybe.

Peter Smith now reporting Momirovski is off home to take up a coaching gig with the Chooks.

That to me means Conner and Sivo will n and that would be us done IMO

I guess that would be a good recruitment cycle, but I would still have liked a big bodied 2nd row to give us a big pack. I think collectively our current backrows are too small, but note either of yesterdays recruits can fill in at 2nd row too. A large out and out 2nd row would have complimented McDonnell / Gannon and Bentley.

I have concerns with Gannon because how is he going to avoid head collisions next year? Is he ruled out for the rest of the year as soon as he takes a bang to the head? I would love him to succeed but not sure how this will be possible.

If Sivo comes in as well, would there be much need for another prop/2nd row? Assuming the starting wingers are Handley and then Hall/Sivo rotation, you've got some big metres coming out of back play, hopefully taking the workload off the props (which are already looking a lot better). I wouldn't be complaining if they went and got another forward, mind.

Unless were looking at some UK based players?
